[origin: EP2730293A1] The filter (10) has a filter element (12) comprising a set of passage openings (24) that are formed for connecting an inlet connection (14) of the filter with an outlet connection (16) in a fluid communication manner. A surface area of the filter element is made from copper alloy consisting of manganese, zinc and aluminum portions, where the passage openings are formed in tube-shape. The filter element has disks that are arranged one behind the other in a passage direction (A), where the connections are designed as ISO 5356-1 connections. An independent claim is also included for a method for removing bacteria and virus from gas volume.
